I wear what I want and what I feel comfortable in, wouldn't be seen dead in Iris's clothes. Nothing like stating the obvious of course a fit and trim body looks better in clothes than one that's gone to seed to put it politely.

Actually I agree with a lot of what’s in this article. It’s a sobering thought that Brad Pitt is a year older than Boris Johnson, and we could be the female sartorial equivalents of one or the other depending on our choices.

Really? I wouldn’t be seen dead in them!

I’ve always thought her and her OTT style absolutely ghastly.

A while back there was a thread about what one should wear as one got older. Some were in favour of growing old disgracefully whilst others were in favour of discretion. Here's an article from the Guardian entitled "How to Age Well" - get louder every decade! Of particular note is the American Iris Apfel, aged 100. I wish I had the money and was thin enough to wear her clothes
